Master Explorer Folders

Expand the Master Explorer folder, and you see a set of subfolders similar to this:

  • All Forms
  • Modules

These subfolders are divided into groups that provide different ways of locating any form in the system.

If the Button pane is displayed, you can also use the buttons to move to different areas within a level.

All Forms

Expand the All Forms subfolder, and Explorer displays under it all forms available to you, arranged in alphabetical order. If you know the name of the form you want, this is often the fastest way to access it.

See Finding and Opening Forms in the Explorer.

Modules Folder

The Modules folder displays forms grouped mostly by application modules. To find a form based on the area of the application where it exists, select the appropriate module subfolder. The Modules folder also includes the Codes subfolder, which contains forms where you set up codes that are used throughout the system, and the System subfolder, which contains forms used for general application administration.

Subfolders

The folders contain multiple levels of subfolders.

The list of forms in the subfolders can be further subdivided by function:

Subfolder Type Description
Activities Forms used for day-to-day activities. These forms typically perform common actions on records, such as copying them, generating line sequences, printing worksheets, and so on.
Files Forms where you can set up codes and parameters used within the module.
Queries

Forms to help you find specific records by using filtering techniques.

For more information, see About Query Forms.

Reports

Forms to set up the parameters for printing specific information from the records.

For more information, see Reports Overview.

Utilities Forms used for activities generally performed by administrators or managers. Utilities usually require Site Developer (system administrator) permissions to use.
Note:  A system administrator can remove or hide folders and subfolders, so you might not see all of the folders mentioned here in your Explorer window.
